Why do people not understand that mileage on the vehicle doesn't = engine mileage. The guy only posted the mileage on the rebuilt engine, and claims that as the truck's miles.

The ebay one is hysterical. His "missus" has more of a mustache than I think I could ever grow. I'm laughing, but at the same time I really want to punch that guy in the face. He seems like a worthless douche.

No links since the ads have expired but not long ago there was a somewhat-rough RX7, an FC Turbo II. Kid was asking something like $3800 for it but it clearly wasn't worth that even in the grainy pics he put up. Last line of the ad? "FLEXIBLE BUT DON'T OFFER ME $2500". Two weeks later, the ad had been reposted. Except that now the price was "$2500 FIRM". About another week or two later it was up again, at $2000. I love it when idiots try to sell a car.

Or on that '65 Mercury sedan I've been looking at (and praying the only reason it hasn't sold in a year is because of the 390's abysmal gas mileage).

meatpimp posted:"Currently is not ridable" Yeah, I kinda got that from the engine-in-the-milk-crate picture. If the average craigslist caller/buyer is any indication, you got assume the buyer has a turnip for a brain. State the obvious over and over. I just sold my Ford Suv on craigslist and fortunately for me the second caller came with cash, drove the truck 2 blocks then brought it on the spot. I posted a 5 page description of the vehicle along with 12 pictures, detailing everything, and showing pictures of the minor scratches and chips. I priced the truck under blue book poor/low values but higher then the price I want as well as higher as auction wholesale. I still had guys calling me up asking questions that were in the ad, or going "Whoa, that's a high mileage truck!"  That's why I'm asking 5,000$ and not 8,000$ you dumb rear end.Oh well, I posted it and sold it within 2 days so Craigslist is worth what I paid for it.

The guy only posted the mileage on the rebuilt engine, and claims that as the truck's miles. They don't understand vehicles, period. There are plenty of people who think if a car has a good engine, it is a good car. As if that is all that matters. If you showed these people pictures of major components of a car, they probably couldn't even consistently identify which one is the engine. IOwnCalculus posted:My wife spotted this one: poo poo like that is really popular in South Korea. Except it's usually people putting the MB emblem on Ssangyongs and Daewoos which have MB engines. Although I have seen some confused individual's Ssangyong Musso with a BMW emblem on it. And a few Ford Thunderbird emblems on various cars...usually Kias, but not always.

Uh, the boston motorcycle ad was an obvious joke. How are you people missing this? "Only 36,000 miles; just broken in!" "E-mail Lou" (no contact info given whatsoever) "tipped in driveway and wheel fell off" I mean there are a bunch of jokes. Geez you guys are dumb.

You know you can contact people throught Craigslist if they didn't leave contact info, right? I've had to do it before and there's a big button right on the page which you can't miss. Not discounting that it could be a joke, though.
